The Secrets of Taiwanese Postboxes Taiwanese postboxes are set up side by side, in pairs. The left is for outgoing and local mail, while the right is for air mail and prompt delivery. The postboxes come in two colors, red and green. Green was the symbol color of the Chinese postal service. Red is the symbol color of the Japanese postal service (which itself comes from Britain).
